According to Utah Department of Transportation, all lanes were blocked. Additionally, the exit ramp, left shoulder, and right shoulder were all closed. However, the pilot and plane have both made it home safely.

Morgan County Fire and EMS said, “We’d like to give the pilot a big shout-out for an impressive landing.”

“And for everyone else stuck in traffic today… sorry, but not every slowdown is caused by a fender-bender — sometimes it’s a plane!” They added.
